We moved on too fast...

Im watching Hacks and there are some dropout people on here (and 2nd degree connections)! So far Ive seen Trey from Broad City which in a previous post i mentioned had dropout people on. We got Rekha Shankar (who was also on BC), Anna Garcia, and now in s2 we got Mano Agapion! Can’t wait to see more :)

Also this show is hilarious and makes me so emotional

re hacks: honestly i'm gald we got this ep as the ending because it let's them hit the ground running in s5 and sets up the emotional work that still needs to be done w how deborah still lashes out and rails against the significance of her relationship with ava. sure, she can make the grand gesture but she can't bear the casual day-to-day intimacy of true partnership and god the shame she conveyed in one line when ava brought up who's making dinner!!!!! the late night wound is healed but the wound of being so betrayed by a partner, the decades long self hatred at her own naivete, the complete discomfort of being truly seen by another person WE'VE GOT A LOT TO WORK WITH FAM IT ALL COMES FULL CIRCLE

Wait a second, wait a second. Simpler. We need to scale the Loom’s capacity to manage all those new branches, otherwise it will fail.

In my rewrite of the Mandalorian season 2 finale Din doesn’t send Moff Gideon the threatening anticipatory holocall before he gets there

Gideon receives the call and hears Din’s message, and seconds after that all of the power to the bridge goes out, because Din and his crew are already inside the ship, hunting them in the dark

gotta laugh at everyone who has ever said that "~unLiKE tHe pEtEr jACkSoN fILmS~ the trop people don't care about tolkien, don't care about middle-earth, it's a soulless adaptation for the money just because amazon is behind it" because (and i say this while also saying fuck amazon, fuck jeff bezos. it goes without saying - two things can be true at the same time, i can't believe it bears repeating)

how do you think films and television get made?? hate to break it to you, but it's all for the money. new line cinema didn't say "we love tolkien, pj, let's do this for free!" they were literally looking for a franchise hit when they decided to take the films over from miramax - which is exactly what every studio and their mom is trying to do now!!! it's movie business, baby! to say the people behind trop - the actors, the casting directors, the production designers, the vfx artists, the art directors, the armorers, the costume designers, the set decorators, the makeup artists, the ADs, the carpenters, painters, prop-makers, steelworkers, laborers, animal handlers, sound editors, miniature builders, stuntpeople, craftspeople, movement and dialect coaches, trainers, lighting techs, jewelers, etc. - don't care about the story they're telling???? is a wild reach. obviously they work for the showrunners who work for amazon who care the most about making a profit, but so did peter jackson and new line!! wanting your project to be financially and critically successful is not an inherently evil thing, come on guys, are you still buying into the starving artist fallacy 😭

there are tons of little nods to the silmarillion and other parts of the legendarium in the rings of power. yes, there are also changes and goofs, but lotr and the hobbit film trilogies also had their fair share of changes and goofs. i just think that "these people didn't read the books/this is just a money grab/pj & co. cared about the source material while these losers clearly don't" are tired arguments used to justify subjective opinions, not to mention the way it reeks of revisionist history considering the way tolkien purists initially took great issue with deviations made in lotr and especially the hobbit.

it's almost like...the most hated tolkien adaptation is ever the current one.

Terry: I don’t care what you do to me, but he doesn’t deserve this. He’s done too much for this city to wind up in the middle of a media circus.

Shitty Human Being: He means a lot to you, doesn’t he?

Terry: Yeah, he does

Sheridan: Okay, great example of what I’m talking about, Susan. I never need to know where you’ve been fingered.

Ivanova: You don’t know where a woman gets fingered?

The stank face. 😂

As I was saying to a mutual, season 4 seems to be taking the season 2 route: disjointed and sitcom-y in a boring way.

Introducing secondary characters but leaving them underdeveloped, giving excessive focus to less impactful and contrived subplots.

So far it lacks the charm and spark that made seasons 1 & 3 distinct and refreshing.
